Jalapeño and Lime Hummus

Make Mine with Jalapeño and Lime

I love weekends. Not because they provide a significantly different routine for us. We work at home. Translation: we work every day. But the energy is somehow more relaxed on the weekend. I don't feel guilty blogging in my pajamas on a Saturday (past noon, that is). And we do at least *try* to knock off work earlier than usual, reconnoitering at the fridge in late afternoon to assess the food situation.

We typically begin our rummaging in the kitchen pantry, looking for a snack. Some tasty tidbit to tide us over until dinner. We might make guacamole, or pesto, or hummus. We sit and nosh. And talk. Make plans. Lately it's been all about the big move to New Mexico.Which is why I flavored my hummus with jalapeños and lime. Of course.

And, Babycakes, was it ever good. Me gusto!

The unbiased husband's review: "I'm not usually a fan of hummus, but this was far and away the best damn hummus I've ever had." Phew. Traditional, it's not. But who cares about tradition when right now inspiration tastes so good?

Karina's Notes:

This naturally gluten-free hummus is a fab dip with crisp fresh veggies and tortilla chips, but it's also quite tasty as a side dish. Try it with a plate of roasted vegetables and brown rice. It's a lovely way to add a complementary protein to a vegan or vegetarian meal.
